Abstract: Morphological Characterization of 11 castor (Ricinus communis L. ) accessions was carried out in 2012 at Castor Research field of National Cereals Research Institute (NCRI), Nigeria. The accessions were evaluated for 24 morphological characters at different growth stages. The data generated were subjected to One-way ANOVA, principal components analysis and K-means non-hierarchical clustering analysis. The accessions differed significantly at p

Keywords: Castor accessions, morphological characterization, principal components, clustering analyses and NCRI Badeggi
